Summary

Emiliano Mellino from TBIJ joins us to discuss the upcoming (and some might say shortcoming) Fair Working Agency, and we ask the perennial question: will it stop bosses from ripping you off? But first, we look at an article praising an innovative business owner for giving himself the early stages of AI psychosis.   Check out Emiliano's work here! Get the whole episode on Patreon here! *MILO ALERT * Check out Milo’s tour dates here:https://www.miloedwards.co.uk/liveshows *MUSIC ALERT* As Riley mentioned, the outro music for this episode is "Jerusalem (Worst Nightmare)" by Second Homes, which is in fact Nate's band. And since TODAY is Bandcamp Friday, any purchases you make for any artist on Bandcamp are free of fees, meaning artists keep 100% of the purchase amount. You can preorder Second Homes's album here! Trashfuture are: Riley (@raaleh), Milo (@Milo_Edwards), Hussein (@HKesvani), Nate (@inthesedeserts), and November (@postoctobrist)

Emiliano, thank you for being with us today.

Oh, thanks for having me.

So last time we had you on, we were talking about how toothless employment tribunals are in this country, where frequently, if you will, if let's

0:22.6

say you work in a restaurant and your boss steals your tips, you can make a complaint and get a

0:27.2

judgment against them from an employment tribunal that you then will be totally unable to enforce,

0:32.4

and they know that, and everyone knows that. And it's like a sort of pantomime of workers' rights. Now, we've noted that as

0:40.2

part of the review of workers' rights, the labor government is planning to launch the Fair Work Agency

0:45.2

among a bunch of other transformations, try and counteract some of these tendencies. And given that,

business. This is going to destroy British business. Regulation is terrible. And something's going to be

1:10.7

done about this. But no, in all seriousness, terrible and something's going to be done about this.

1:11.7

But no, in all seriousness, I think it's important when we talk about this stuff, this regulation
